ACL's are equilvent to green oem bearings. You should check your crank journals first with a micrometer and compare specs in a helms manaul, i also recommend that u use plasticgauge to verify clearances. dont chance it on your motor. GL.

Plastiguage the bearings after you swap them and make sure they're in spec. If not, then buy the needed OEM bearing.

Re: 2 questions (anton_)

What kind of bolts are you using?
Specs using Moly lube
ARP 2000 7/16" bolt with 7/16" bolt head 75ft lbs

ARP 2000 3/8" bolt with 7/16" bolt head 43ft lbs-* these came on my eagle rods*

ARP 2000 5/16" bolt with 3/8" bolt head 28ft lbs, and if using stock bolts ? In my manual for the b16 stock bolts/rods are 30ft lbs.
